“I really feel blessed that TSM is an organization that I could join. It’s important to me that Reginald was also an esports player so he can understand what it’s like for us and relate. Being a part of this organization is beyond words and I am grateful to each and every one of you that has been a part of it and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us. We have an amazing team with genuine personalities and I hope to build lasting relationships between all of us and that we are able grow not only our businesses and channels but as people as well and go on to do great things in the future.

“So TSM huh? What is there to say, this is something I’ve always dreamed of having. I’ve been a pro for a while now, but never for an org of this caliber. I’m so grateful and blessed to be in this position i wake up everyday and feel luckier each day thinking about this happening and it’s truly and incredible feeling. I wanna thank TSM for even reaching out to me and deciding to go with me and also for being such an awesome org. The first impressions and how transparent and patient they were during the whole process really did it for me. I’m really looking forward to being able to represent TSM in the best way possible and also to compete not only for my teammates but for all of the TSM fans. I want to show them how passionate I am and show them that I want wins more than anything! I’m ready to compete and show the world what we are made of.”
